So! For anyone who's confused, let me clarify. This is the 2001 Robots in Disguise, NOT the current one. In fact, TECHNICALLY it's not even Robots in Disguise; it's Car Robots.
Yes. The Japanese series. There will be Japanese words, Japanese grammar, and I will be referring to the characters by their Japanese names.

Optimus Prime - Fire Convoy
Prowl - Mach Alert
XBrawn - Wild Rider
Side Burn - Speed Breaker

Ect.

I'm not going to have the time to write everything down. If you're confused, look up Robots in Disguise on TF Wiki and it will list those names for you. Though for future reference, one of the mechs in this known as 'Sandstorm' Literally IS Cyclonus from Armada.

This is what happens when my mind can't settle on a single story, because it's wanting affirmation.

***CT***

She ran as fast as her paws allowed her to move. All of the recent happenings were connected...she just knew it. The patterns of the movements between the Cybertrons and the Destrongers was getting too close to the warrior for her own comfort.
Stopping for a moment to peek out from the trees, the sights of battle caught her attention.

The Destrongers had destroyed a nearby bridge, which looked like it belonged to the Earth's railroad system. Not too far away, a high speed train was racing for the death trap.

The shadow gritted her teeth lightly; there wasn't much she herself could do. She had been forbidden to interfere with the Cybertrons unless the Earthlings were in danger. Was that train holding passengers? For that matter...were those other three engines from Earth? Or Seibertron?

Quickly dashing from her cover, the shadow charged for the tracks, keeping a careful eye on the engines that were desperately breaking as they got closer to the destroyed bridge. She hadn't been discovered yet, and she wanted to keep it that way.
Landing on the tracks, she chased after the breaking shinkansen trains.

"Grind it J-Four!"
"It's impossible for me to do anymore than this!"
"Pipe down and stop complaining! Pull it with all your might and spirit!"

Yes...they were Cybertrons...but the middle train was not. Making a quick calculation, she could see that there were human lives in that middle train.
She would have to endure Ice-Star's wrath then.

"Cat-Scratch! Henshin!"

Transforming, the femme kept her two feet running for the engines, quickly taking out a weapon of some kind. "Flash whip!" she snarled, activating a long energy whip that fastened itself on the back of the very last train that was still struggling to stop the largest train from falling to certain doom.

"Wh-What!? Something's pulling me!" J-Four called out, his breaks reaching their limit.
"Keep grinding J-Four!" J-Seven snarled harshly. "Don't get distracted!"

Cat-Scratch grinded her pedes into the ground...but found herself getting dragged along with the crazy trains. Gritting her teeth, she increased the power in her whip and tugged harder.
What had she been THINKING!? Trying to help a TRAIN?! She was a CAT, she couldn't help a train!

Pulling harder, her optics glowed brightly. If those humans got hurt...

"Hey! GelShark! Who is THAT?!" Guildo demanded, pointing towards the femme, who was tugging at the dragging train she had gotten a hold of as best as she could.
"Is it a Destronger?" Gas-Skunk asked, looking bewildered. "She's cute!"
"Baka! If she was a Destronger, she wouldn't be helping the Cybertrons!" GelShark snarled, charging up his laser. "Maser Storm!"

"...nya!"
Cat-Scratch quickly looked upwards, narrowing her eyes at the oncoming attack. Growling, she released the train she was holding via her whip and the whip went straight for the oncoming attack. "FLASH WHIP!"

BOOOOMMM!

The noise settled, and the dust began to clear. Cat Scratch panted lightly as she held her position...and quickly winced, looking back down the tracks. The train! She had let go of the train!

She managed to breathe a slight sigh of relief when the dust cleared. The Cybertron leader, Fire Convoy had managed to stop the trains, including the train with the passengers on it.
"Thank goodness…" Cat Scratch sighed lightly, sheathing her whip. She had not been needed.

"HEY! YOU!"

"...nya…" Cat Scratch looked upwards, gritting her teeth at the sight of ALL of the Destrons looking at her.

"Who do you think you are!? You've interfered with my plans!" Gel Shark snarled.

"I'm glad, then!" Cat Scratch replied in a snippy manor. "The humans didn't get your fishy stench on them, nya!"
"Wh-...How dare you!"

"Who the heck is that?" Speed Breaker asked, watching the interaction past the trains.
"A Destronger?" Mach Alert suggested, getting his weapons ready.
"If that's so, then why would she help slow the train down?" Wild Rider asked, skeptically.

"Cat Scratch! Beast Mode!" Cat Scratch quickly transformed into a large siamese cat and crouched down, glancing behind her. The three Shinkansen trains were in the process of getting the human train to safety. Better give them some wiggle room. "You're Gel Shark, right? I've always wanted to meet you, so I could tell you, YOU'RE AN IDIOT!"

"WHY YOU FILTHY-!"
Gel Shark really didn't get to finish his sentence, because Cat Scratch had turned and ran up the tracks and back into the nearby trees. "GET BACK HERE!"

Before he could pursue her, he had been blocked by Fire Convoy and the Cybertron brothers.
Fire Convoy glared darkly towards Gel Shark and the other Destrongers, getting his weapon ready. "Did you think we'd allow you guys to get away with this?!"

***SW***

Cat Scratch shook her fur as she got to the cave and looked behind her. Had the Destrons followed her...where the heck were they? She had tried to defer their attention from the humans...perhaps she should have stayed and fought?

"Cat-Scratch!"

The cat winced and looked towards the cave, quickly padding in, allowing a door to close behind her. Quickly going to a certain wall, the siamese pressed a button and sat down.
"Cat-Scratch reporting, nya." she mewed lightly.

"I thought Ice Star-sama told you to stay away from the Cybertrons? You could have been discovered, you know!?" A Mech's voice sounded from the other line.

"But the cute ones had a train that was in trouble, nya" Cat Scratch replied, winceing lightly. "Besides, Gigatron didn't show up. I wasn't discovered!"

"Gigatron DID show up, Cat Scratch. He arrived as SOON as you had left!"

"NANI?!" Cat Scratch suddenly stood on all of her paws, looking shocked. "How?! I thought I distracted Gel Shark!"
"It seems you were the one who was really distracted, as per normal."

"Geez!" Cat Scratch SLAMMED her paw down and growled. "Were the humans hurt?!"

"No"
A sudden image appeared on the screen, showing Cat Scratch the battle that had ensued after her departure. "After you left, the Cybertrons and Destrongers fought; however the Cybertron Shinkansen team performed a triple merge known as JRX."
"JRX?" Cat Scratch watched the screen and tilted her head lightly. "He looks cool."

"Focus Cat Scratch. You need to keep patroling, and make sure neither the Cybertons or the Destrongers get the O-parts OR the key! Understand?"

"Hai! Wakarimasu!"

***CB***

"Ai. Check our records for the Destroger list." Fire Convoy ordered, approaching the main screen. "I have a feeling that I know the one who helped team Shinkansen."

"Roger." Ai responded, checking her database for what information she had.

"Are you saying you know who that was, Fire Convoy?" Speedbreaker asked. "Is she really a Destronger?"
"If she is a Destronger, then why would she go out of the way to help a train?" Wild Rider asked, looking perplexed at the idea of a Destronger helping a Cybertron.

"She called herself 'Cat Scratch'" Fire Convoy turned to look at his soldiers with patient optics. "If I remember correctly, she was apart of a very small group of Destrongers who wanted nothing to do with the war Gigatron started."

The three brothers in front of Fire Convoy displayed a fair amount of shock.
"Wait...NICE Destrongers? That's impossible!"
"It's very possible, and it's true." Fire Convoy responded, looking towards the screen that now held a picture of ten Destrongers, of which Cat Scratch was among them. "They refused to assist Gigatron; and ultimately paid with their lives. One managed to escape Gigatron's wrath and had joined a small group of Cybertrons who were sent on a mission by the Cybertron counsel." Fire Convoy studied the picture for a moment, and then looked back towards those in the room. "Cat Scratch and the rest of the group have not been seen or heard from in a milenia."

"Are you suggesting that there is a group of Cybertron warriors here on Earth, and we didn't know about it?" Mach Alert asked, looking slightly concerned.

"It is a possibility." Fire Convoy replied, a thoughtful look in his optics. "I need you three to be on high look out. If you see Cat Scratch, or any other Cybertronian that is not apart of our group, approach them and invite them to speak with me."

"Are you sure that's a good idea, Fire Convoy?" Wild Rider asked.

"Any chance for new comrades is worth it."

***SW***

As the day drew to a close, the Tokyo train station #1 was bustling with commuters on their way home. Fussy employees went back and forth, making sure each train was ready to take their passengers from point A to point B.

One of the doors opened into a somewhat quieter room, an engineer entering with a young woman behind him. The engineer had his eyes focused on the clipboard, while the woman cooly looked around at the tracks in the room. For station #1, the room was...surprisingly empty.

"And this is where we keep our reserve trains." The engineer motioned towards the other side of the room, where two spare bullet trains were waiting patiently on standby. "Normally, there are five engines in here." He explained, looking towards the young woman beside him. "However, since it's almost a holiday, we have more passengers trying to get to their holiday destinations. Along with normal traffic. It's quite hectic."

The woman smiled at him and nodded in understanding, placing her hands behind her back.

Looking back down, the engineer lead her towards one of the trains. "Since you'll be on night shift, it should quiet down in a couple of days. This should be ok, since we have less trains in the room, and more out and about."
He looked up and paused for a moment, noticing one of the trains in the room, before motioning to it. "Oh, by the way, you are aware of the three Cybertrons that help us, right?"

The woman tilted her head lightly and looked over towards the train he was pointing at, before looking back towards the engineer.

"That one is J-Five; he's actually fixing to go on duty and help us with the rush. He's very kind, you should go meet him, Yume-san."

The woman known as Yume watched in wonder for a moment. The engine was idling peacefully, ready for orders. For a moment, the woman pursed her lips lightly, fiddling her fingers behind her back.

"Are you scared, Yume-san?" The engineer asked, starting to walk towards the train. "Come on, he's very polite and friendly."
Yume was silent...before following the engineer as he approached J-Five.

"Konban'wa, J-Five" The Engineer greeted, entering the engine and looking down at the display screen. Said screen came to life, showing the picture of a robotic face with deep ruby optics.
"Konban'wa, Ruto-san." J-Five greeted pleasantly. "Are you well?"
"I am very well, thank you." The Engineer bantered, motioning Yume to come closer. "J-Five this is Yume-san. She's going to be working the night floor maintenance with us."

"Pleasure to meet you, Yume-san." J-Five greeted.
Yume smiled gently and bowed in greeting.

"Yume-san is mute, but I've been told she's very effective when getting things done." The Engineer explained. "She will familiarize herself with the area for tonight. Would it be possible for her to meet J-Four and J-Seven tonight?"

"I can't make any promises, Ruto-san; but I understand knowing about us is a safety precaution." J-Five nodded lightly. "I will see what I can do to help out."
"Thank you, J-Five." Ruto looked towards Yume and smiled. "I need to help with the rush. Familiarize yourself with this station and watch the procedures. If any of team Shinkansen need anything from you, please help them swiftly."

Yume nodded lightly, placing a hand on J-Five's counsel and smiling at him in a sort-of 'handshake'. Turning, she headed out of the engine and slowly made her way outside.
Glancing backwards, she frowned lightly and took out a small data pad.

Activating the device, she let out a sigh and pressed a few buttons. Suddenly, a star shaped symbol appeared on the screen, followed by the insignia of the Cybertons.
A Moment passed, before a voice came on. "Comet, have you managed to locate all of the Cybertons?"

Yume blinked and pressed a few buttons on the screen, allowing data to be sent to the other side.

"...I see...so you've managed to put trackers on the three brothers, a couple of spychangers, and just managed to locate J-Five." The voice pondered for a moment. "...You're posing at a train station right? Will you be meeting J-Four and J-Seven soon?"

Yume simply nodded in reply.

"Good. I'll inform Ice Star-sama. Make sure you say out of their affairs, and make sure all of their missions don't happen in the areas we selected."

Yume nodded again.

"Comet...don't let anything distract you from your mission."
"...Hai...Wakarimasu."
